Due to mental health issues, VANNER member Heysung will be released from his military service, according to a statement released by KLAP Entertainment.
The agency verified that Hyesung would formally depart the military on December 16 following a medical exemption in a statement posted on the group’s online fan site.
The statement: “This is KLAP Entertainment. We are writing to inform you that VANNER’s Hyesung will be discharged from his military service on December 16 due to a medical exemption. As previously mentioned, Hyesung had been experiencing panic disorder and mental health challenges. Two weeks after enlisting in the training camp, he was admitted to the Armed Forces Daejeon Hospital for a detailed examination. The results indicated that he was unfit for active duty and required ongoing treatment. Based on the findings and recommendations from the Military Manpower Administration, he will be discharged due to medical reasons.
We sincerely apologize for causing concern to fans who have been waiting for updates on Hyesung. We understand the worry and concern you may feel regarding this news. However, we kindly ask for your understanding that we cannot provide further details beyond what has already been shared. Our company will continue to do our utmost to support Hyesung so he can focus on his recovery. Thank you”
The information comes after previous revelations regarding Hyesung’s battles with panic disorder and other mental health issues. The training facility concluded that Hyesung’s illness prevented him from completing basic training shortly after his enlistment on November 4. After that, he was sent to the Armed Forces Daejeon Hospital for a comprehensive medical assessment.
The results of the evaluation showed that Hyesung needed further treatment because his condition prevented him from serving in the military. He would be released from duty in accordance with the Military Manpower Administration’s recommendations.
